    Hi @Yes Good to have you here! I notice that when I go through a session that by the time I am through, my problems seem much less important. Maybe there is a hint for me there?

    Dear Prison Chaplin, I admire your faith. The plain fact is that these elderly sisters are not receiving as much as a ride to church. At least in my area. We ask that they look first to their families. Well guess what? Elderly celibates. No family.

    Such a movement is valuable because it boosts sell-esteem. I am glad for it. I wonder, however, if it is ethical to encourage women not to marry outside the church. The ministering program has collapsed where I live and older women are in dire straits. We can do little to help them. The needs are greater than our capacity to fill.

    We wonder too...just kidding!

    As a former Single Stake rep, I have met a lot of faithful single women. The demographic reality is that if they do not marry outside the church, they will not marry. Not marrying in this life has serious consequences. In my area, ministering sistering is, if not dead, certainly on life support. Being old childless and single is bleak. I often ponder what to do about the older single women. The over 40s and the older 50s. Many of them are have low incomes and no cars. No car in my area often means inactive as the bus system here is expensive and inconvenient. Some denominations, but not ours, have a bus. In general, if a member marries out, they become less active but the alternative is stark.

    Actually in our faith, the more educated are more active and observant based on PEW research

    Me too. How will nonmembers find us? Can’t we say Former Mormon Hub? Mormons for Christ? Mormons Are Christians?

    I will bet that was a great presentation! Glad that your ward is using your smarts!

    You could wear ripped jeans and t shirt to my ward, no one would bat an eye. A tube top on the other hand...

    True! And maybe beyond Christmas as well!

    @prisonchaplain It is very true that it is easier to convert an atheist than another Christian especially the lukewarm kind but ...if it is an essential part of your faith to remain chaste, it is quite dangerous to date an atheist. .

    What is this?

    Please! 🙏

    Nope. We are cutting expenses in temples as much as possible: no more white scriptures, no more special Kleenex boxes

    How about...Gone Girl, The woman in cabin 10, the woman in the window, the girl on the train (lots of women in this list!)

    Bishop gets sacrament first because...we are worried about poisoning?

    Where is this congregation and how fast can we baptism them?

    In fact, as a former head of our public affairs department pointed out, the stipend amounts to about the same as the tithing associated with the previous earnings for some of our leaders. And retirement is....well you know what I mean!

    I wonder if you could get him to do a littl field research? Be an amateur anthropologist? Perhaps sitting in sacrament watching 1/3 arrive after the meeting starts, all those people hanging out in the hall, watch the kids wandering about during sacrament meeting....honestly my ward’s meetings should warm the heart of any anarchist! Actually, you could do this online. Point out that the prophet asked not to use the word ‘mormon’ then look up all the uses of ‘mormon’ Mormon Tabernacle Choir’ , MormonHub...... Trying to herd members is like trying to herd cats. He should be completely at home.

    I think sometimes you need to make a leap of faith and get baptized. Ask Heavenly Father if this is the right thing to do. If it is not right ask him to prevent you from being baptized. Pick a date and go for it!

    Good job! Skipping Isaiah is an excellent way to get through the BOM! When you have time you might want to read Ridges Isaiah Made Easier. I bought a used copy through Abe Books.
